Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. The Auditorium is offering a classy bill for the last half of the week with a varied programme of motion pictures and three interesting vaudeville num- bers. Branded by His Brother's Crime, a_frontier western picture, and the Kinemacolor farce comedy Entertain- ing Auntie both make a good impres- sion. Kashima rightly styles himself the ' human billiard table and raakes a big hit with his clever jugsling of the alls which he rolls in and out of vari- | ous pockets attached to his coat.

He had been apparently in the best of health and had given no_indication that he felt ill on Thursday up to about 11 o'clock in the forenoon when he was stédenly stricken with apo- plexy while working at the rectory of St. Patrick’s church. He was taken to his home in the ambulance and re- ceiveq medical treatment, but failed to rally, passing away at about 1.30. Mr. Burns was born in Yantic 45 years ago and was the son of Mar- tin Burns and Ellen Casey Burns. He passed his whole life In Yantic until a vear and a half ago when he took up his residence on Franklin street, where he has since made his home. He learned the painting business as a young man and had always fol- lowed this trade. He was a member of the Painters’ unfon and also of St. Patrick's church. He was married 18 months ago ‘to Miss Helena Hurley, who survives him. Mr. Burns was well known and his death is a source of deep regret to a wide circle of friends. He was a de- voteq and kind husband and son and the members of the bereaved family have the sympathy of all in their sor- row. He leaves besides his wife, his,| father, a sister. Miss Mary Burns, and a brother, William Burns, all of Yan- tie, a brother Peter of this city and a brother John Burns of Bezrah. FUNERAL. Willis Anson Briscoe.

WHO’S WHO IN MERCHANDISING When a manufacturer per- fects some new article of merit, the first question that comes up is how to market it; how to create a demand for it. The usual answer is to place his article in the leading stores and then to co-operate with the retailer in announcing through the newspapers its chief points of excellence. The newspaper is chosen be- | to welcome their new pastors to their REV. JOEL B. SLOCUM Both on First Sunday in This By an unexpected coincidence, two: of the Baptist churches of the city are pulpits on Sunday. In March Rev. George H, Strouse of Colmar, Pa., as- cepted the call of the First Baptist | church oon the West Side, naming, the | first Synday In May as the date when he would begin his pastorate here. On | Thursday evening the Central Bap- tist chureh meeting had read before it the acceptance from Rev. Joel Byron Slocum of Brooklyn, N. Y. of the call to the pastorate which the church ex- tended to him last week. He alsa named the first Sunday in May as the time when he would begin his pastor- ate here. Letter of Acceptance. Thursday evening was the yegular covenant meeting of the Central Bap- tist church, which was conducted by Deacon Chester G. Ambler. There was a good attendance. In the early part of the meeting Deacon Ambler an- nounced that the church clerk, Frank L. Arnold, had a letter which he wish- ed to read, and the clerk responded by reading the following from Rev. Mr. Slocum: Brooklyn, N. Y. April 30, 1913. The Central Baptist Church, Norwich, Conn., F. L. Arnold, Clerk: My Dear People: Your earmest call to the pastorate of your church meets with a correspond- ing enthusiasm in my own heart. The circumstances by which we have been drawn together seem to me to indicate a providential guidance | It is with the conviction that the great Head of the Church approves of the arrangement by which you and I in the same field may become laborers together with Him, that I accept your summons to a service that will require the supreme devotion of my life In assuming the leadership of the impor- tant worlk of your-church I realize the large responsibility which is invelved, and commit myseif not only to your prayerful consideration but especially to Him whose we are and whom we serve, Without Him is failure; with Him is vietory, It will be convenient to comply with vour request that our work together should begin with the first Sunday in May (next Sunday). Invoking upon our appreaching un- fen ‘the blessing of Ged, and upon you the richest favors 'of His grace, I am, in the service of Christ, Yours affectionately, JOEL B.'SLOCUM. In the eovenant meeting which fol- lowed there were many expressions of satisfaction at the aceeptance which had been received from the paster whom the church had called by the practically umanimeus vete of a week ago.

This brother completes the Brook!yn quintette of Maritime men. I sense and sound judgment of the Greenwood church when I heard that they had called our brother to the pastorate. The ground of my ap- proval was a sermon I heard this brother preach In the Leinster street church, St. John, at the ministers’ in- stitute of the Maritime convention held there in 1903. Having heard Morley Punshon, Charles H. Spurgeon, Cardi- nal Manning, Joseph Parker, Canon Farrar, John B. Gough, Jackson Wray, Henry Ward Beecher, DeWitt Talmage and many other noted men, I have a quired the habit of the “sermon taster” and when I heard “Joe” Slocum preach I said to myself: “He knows how.” He has a fine church.

The build- ings was at 232 West 18th street, run- ning through to West 17th. The fire was on the floor where 30 men of the Thermos employes were packing up | goods to be sent here, and a consid- erable amount of stock was destroy- ed, which will for a time handicap the company in deliveries. The company has occupied four floors in the building, but had moved out of all but one, where the men were at work packing, and no girls were em- ployed there by the company.

He also had a gash in the forehead. e was taken home in James Burke's hack. All three men were attended by Dr. D. J. Shahan, who was first called to the scene of the accident. When the men fell they landed on the concrete walk which is along the easterly side of the church The acei- dent happened, it was stated by one of the men, when Mr. Donovan and Mr. Johnson together walked out on a 14-foot plank from which a center stud used in the staging had been re- moved. The plank snapped in the middle and Mr. Donovan, who was nearest the center, fell first, followed by Mr. Johnson. Mr. Schulz was standing with one foot on the plank that broke and the other on the next plank. He was the last to fall. Mr. Donovan never re- gained consciousness. Iven with his ankle broken, Mr. Johnson managed to hobble to the barn where his coat had been left. He was taken to Backus hospital during the evening. CHURCH HISTORY I8 TOLD AT ROLLCALL | At Mt. Calvary Baptist Church—Or- ganized Dec. 10, 1873. The annual rollcall of the Mt Cal- vary Baptist church was held Thurs- day evening in the vestry with a good number in attendance. in response to i the roll as read by Clerk Mrs. A. F. Drury 54 members responded, and Mrs. Drury also read one response by letter. The pastor, Rev. J. H. Dennis, presided and opened the meeting with brief re- marks. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Mr. Sheidon of New London, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church. Prayer was offered by Deacon S. W. Lacy. Following a hymn by Rev. Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Drury gave an inte eoting paper on the history of _the Hill, Georgianna Hiil, Mattison Thom- as, Mary Thomas, Garland Scott and L. E. Perrin. Services were held in Rockwell hall at the beginning of the church’s_existence. During the first winter 15 members were added by bap- tism. Mrs. Drury spoke in part as follows: As weo meet here tonight we have a church large, prosperous and progres- sive. The church was organized Dec. 10, 1873, and this property was pur- chased from the Central Baptist church, About 100 have united with the church since its organization. The longest pastorate was that of Rev. R. D. Wynn, who served seven years suc- cessfully. Mrs. Drury spoke of each of the other pastors of the ehurch and of their work. The Grace Memorial church, said Mrs. Drury, was organized by a band of 15 _members who split off from the Mt. Calvary church. The morigage has new been reduced to $200 and in the near future will un- doubtedly be wiped out. Mrs. Drury closed with an appeal for new life and new energy in church work for the “glory of Ged, in the name of our de- neminatien and of our City Beautiful, The Rose of New England.” Deacen J. W. Williams spoke on the werk of the Sunday school and eulo- gies to deceased members of the church Crop Will Be a2 Great One This Year, Says J. H. Hale. “Connecticut will have the largest crop of peaches in the history of the state, judging from present indica- tions,” Is the way In which J. H. Hale of Glastonbury. orchardist of nation- wide reputation, sums up the situa- tion. The reports from all over are just as encouraging as in the locality of Glastonbury, he ls quoted by the Hartford Courant as saying, and there is_every reason to believe that there will be 1,500 carloads gathered from the orchards. That will be more than the entire crop of Delaware and New Jersey, combined, and it will give a greater total than all of the other New England states. And Connecticut will have more than enough to sup- ply New England and will have to look for an outside market. “Of course,” he sald, “this is all Dbased on the present conditiions. We now look for a large crop, but mext week something may happen to elim- { inate all the favorable indications. The seeson has been ideal thus far. Even now it is a full two weeks ahead of | the usual, | | Season Is Ahead. enough not to do damage and, at_the same time it was cold enough to hold the buds back until the real spring weather was assured. Last Monday I was down in Georgia, when we had a cold snap, and I thought that it would ruin things up in Connecticut, but it was apparently not any colder here than there. As a matter of fact harm if a few more had been blasted, for that would have eliminated some of the thinning of the fruit that will cost thousands of dollars. However, we are willing to spend money to do the thinning rather than run .the chance of nature doing it by the frost method. About Reports of Ruined Crops “Tn tals particulsr, T want to set you right_on one thin he papers have a hablt of saying each year that 50 per cent, of the peach crop has been ruined; then comes another article saying that an additional 30 per cent. | has been ruined and later, perhaps, | another 40 per cent. has been ruined. | By that time the papers owe the or- | chards some peaches. The fact is that | this arises from the fact of reporting | the destruction of the buds.

Put a few drops of [ liquid Hyomei in the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and be- fore you have used the treatment five minutes you will notice relief from your cetarrhal troubles.
